Sasaki Rikako is a through-and-through metalhead

Oh, and I have something I wanted to brag about.
My beloved rock T-shirts!

I have even more but there’s just too many to show them all. ヽ(；▽；)ノ
I’m always wearing them at rehearsals and stuff!
People who also like rock: let’s have a show of hands!
I hope there are some out there reading this. (_ _).｡o♡

My favorite one is the Iron Maiden T-shirt in the bottom right!
Uwaaah. So cool!

Does she just wear those for the fashion, or actually listen to the bands as well? Someone find this out.

“I want to start playing the guitar — I really like KISS, Whitesnake and other foreign rock bands. My dad used to play that kind of music, too, and so he bought me a guitar but I never started playing it. I’d finally like to start learning it this year.”

How old is her dad? Feels like he might be from the same generation as me.

Around 49 or 50.

This is definitely all thanks to her dad’s influence. (laughs)

But Marin really likes the British stuff like Rainbow, Maiden and Dio a lot.

She was most influenced by the 80’s stuff, too, so they actually have a lot in common. Priest, America, Scorpions, Mötley, Michael Schenker, Rainbow, etc. The guitarists she most admires are Paul Gilbert and Ritchie Blackmore.

Takagi likes Robert Palmer and listens to The Power Station, too.

Yeah, they’re mostly just run of the mill jpop but with heavy instruments. I’d say most H!P songs, from a composition perspective at least, are much closer to metal than stuff like Babymetal. I mean stuff like Taiki Bansei or The Future, if you took those songs and stuck them in the middle of some power metal band’s setlist, they wouldn’t sound at all out of place. Probably why I ended up listening to H!P so much.

That is clearly either too early for it’s time or just too damn messy :p
I don’t have any problem with anyone not liking it as it’s clearly really particular.
I do personally love this strange combination and find it quite refreshing too see all those metal cliché and idol antics at the same.

At the other anonymous poster: What’s a “Jpop format ?” for a song ? i’m curious. Especially regarding the VERY VERY wide range of songs in babymetal album, with each song almost unique in it’s own (and some better than others)
